Laparoscopic Extended Segmentectomy VII Guided by the Right Hepatic Vein: Precise Surgical Planning with a Three-Dimensional Liver Model.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII is a technically challenging procedure owing to a lack of clear anatomical landmarks and difficulty in determining the cutting plane (Wang in J Am Coll Surg 238:321-330, 2024; Liu in Surg Oncol 38:101575, 2021). On the basis of precise surgical planning, we present a laparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII guided by the right hepatic vein. PATIENT AND
methodsA 65 year-old male patient presented with a right hepatic mass. The three-dimensional liver model showed that the tumor was mainly located in segment 7, invading part of segment 8 (Fig. 1A). The right hepatic vein (RHV) trunk was not invaded by the tumor, and the segment 6/7 intersegmental vein was present; these served as the surgical landmarks for determining the cutting plane (Fig. 1B) (Wang in Updates Surg 75:1941-1948, 2023). Firstly, the Glissonean pedicle of segment 7 (G7) was dissected from the dorsal side of the liver. The ischemic area was identified and marked by clamping G7. Then, the intraoperative ultrasound confirmed the RHV trunk projection to satisfy the requirements of oncologic treatment (Lin in J Gastrointest Surg 27:1494-1495, 2023). Liver parenchymal transection was performed peripherally, followed by the exposure of the segment 6/7 intersegmental vein and RHV trunk on the cutting plane. Further transection was then continued along the RHV trunk, up to its root.

resultsThe operative time was 260 min, with an intraoperative blood loss of 50 ml. The pathology confirmed moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with a negative surgical margin. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 9 without any complications.
conclusionsOn the basis of precise surgical planning with a three-dimensional liver model, the laparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII guided by the RHV is feasible and effective.
